While this plug-in is frozen, it’s worth noting that the newer Discourse versions allow for localization of categories names/descriptions, as well as singular topic localizations as a base Discourse feature, including manually c:

> That could be done, but to be very honest, if the limit is set to X and any user edits it X+1 times, you would face the same issue as well. We would then have developed a solution that doesn’t really solve the problem systematically. We do have an indicator that shows when a translation may be outdated, it is coloured the same way as post edits indicator "This post was originally written in English. Translation may be outdated"

As such, it’s understandable that this plug-in is no longer supported, as the features brought by it are almost all available by default in Discourse

EDIT: As a warning, not all current Multilingual features are natively available in Discourse as of now, for instance :

- You can’t hide topics in the different category topics pages according to the `Content Languages` setting in any given user profile

It’s still a great advancement in features, but a head-up before upgrading your instance.
